Abstract
D-isoproterenol d-bitartrate applied topically lowers intraocular pressure (IOP) in normal albino rabbits and rabbits with alpha-chymotrypsin-induced glaucoma. This effect is independent of any effect on systemic blood pressure or pulse rate. A similar response could not be obtained in monkey or human eyes. Subconjunctival injection of d-isoproterenol d-bitartrate to monkey eyes did not alter IOP.
